Echoings of Death

You were the bayonette
In my artillery of hate
That's why I miss our quarrels
And their echoings of death

Both our names will linger
After we are gone
Whispered out by mothers
To frighten their young

Every I love you
Was a dagger in the making
There was no language left
We could not have broken

Both our names will linger
After we are gone
Whispered out by mothers
To frighten their young
Remember when we promised
We'd quit our suicides
Might've been the only time
You believed my lies

Is there such a thing as shelter
For when you wake up one morning
Afraid you're gonna live

Love, how it always seems
To draw the same conclusion
It starts in narcissism
But somehow ends up in confusion

Both our names will linger
After we are gone
Whispered out by mothers
To frighten their young
Remember when we promised
We'd quit our suicides
Might've been the only time
You believed my lies

Is there such a thing as shelter
For when you wake up one morning
Afraid you're gonna live
